F1 Results Today: ‘Frustrating’ red flags plague Las Vegas Grand Prix as manhole problems return
During Thursday night’s Las Vegas Grand Prix practice, a red flag was issued due to a potential loose manhole cover, marking the second time in three years that such an incident occurred.
The session was stopped while most teams were in the middle of their qualifying simulation runs, causing a scramble for track position.
Unfortunately, Charles Leclerc encountered a gearbox issue and pulled off the track during the restart, further complicating the situation for teams trying to gauge their pace.
Lando Norris topped the timing sheets, but the standings may not accurately reflect the actual competition due to few drivers completing true single push laps.
Max Verstappen is the reigning F1 champion, having secured his fourth drivers’ title last season, and while there is no F1 event today, practice sessions like FP3 will continue ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
